What is actually in the water coming into your Alhambra kitchen? A TDS meter will give you one number in a few seconds, and it’s usually higher than people expect. Reverse osmosis brings that number down to a small fraction at the drinking-water faucet. On a private well, we recommend a lab test first, so the equipment matches what’s really there.
Every gallon that reaches a tap in Alhambra brings roughly 15 to 20 grains of dissolved mineral per gallon along for the ride. Most of it leaves with the water. The rest stays behind in your plumbing, a thin layer at a time, and every job here is priced with that in mind.
Neglect doesn’t make RO water dangerous so much as pointless. Spent carbon stops catching chlorine, and the chlorine then goes to work on the membrane. A fouled membrane sends more water to the drain for less at the tap. Meanwhile the alternative, a case of bottled water stored in a garage that reached 120 degrees in July, is not quite the upgrade it looks like on the shelf.
Signs the system needs service
The RO faucet trickles
Slow flow usually means clogged prefilters, a fouled membrane, or a tank that has lost its air charge. All three are fixable, typically in one visit.
That taste is back
Chlorine or a musty note in RO water means the carbon stages are spent. Change them before the chlorine reaches the membrane.
A TDS reading close to the tap’s
The membrane has stopped rejecting much of anything. Membranes wear faster on hard water, and a spent one looks perfectly normal from the outside.
Water running to the drain all night
A steady trickle under the sink long after the tank should be full points to a failed shutoff or check valve. The system keeps producing, and wasting, around the clock.
Drips inside the cabinet
Filter housings, tubing connections, and the drain saddle are the usual sources. Particleboard cabinet floors swell fast, so it’s worth a look whenever the trash goes out.
When were the filters last changed?
If nobody in the house knows, it has been too long. Prefilters generally want changing about once a year, more often on hard or well water.
